3.21.3 Discrete Numerical Configuration

The domain is discretised with a uniform cylindrical grid spacing in the horizontal set to $ \Delta a=1$  cm and $ \Delta \phi=3^{\circ}$ , so that there are 120 grid cells in the azimuthal direction and thirty-one grid cells in the radial, representing a tank 62cm in diameter. The bathymetry file sets the depth=0 in the nine lowest radial rows to represent the central of the annulus. Vertically the model is configured with twenty-nine layers of uniform 0.5cm thickness.
